Spartans were the first ones to present the democratic society (combined with monarchy) more than 150 years before Athens.
<span>How come?</span>
<span>With two kings,Gerousia,ephoroi and democratic assembly NO one had an absolute power(while mathematically democratic assembly made from all citizens had the most power,even to exile kings), and all (Elders,Ephoroi,Kings,Assembly) controlled and limited the power of each other. </span>
<span>So the assembly of all male citizens (their representatives) basically ruled Sparta.What is that if not democracy? </span>
<span>Athenians did no such thing,their "democratic" system was an absolute power of an assembly that was consequently very popular pray for power hungry,and the place in it was won by all kinds of unmoral deceptions,misuse of poor blind and illiterate etc</span>
<span>Being passive or not military effective has nothing to do with democratic society...Contrary to the popular belief Spartan citizens were not repressed...they wished and believed in what they were doing. How undemocratic was Athenian society clearly shows their treatment of women.</span>
Well, the war of 1812 was probably the most challenging event faced by the United States from a direct point of view. We were severely underpowered in comparison to the great British navy, and Canada sent us packing numerous times. The war ended in a tie only because Britain didn't consider us threatening enough to make an offensive, and in reality we lost the war pretty badly.
I'm pretty sure that it is "D".
All of the names on the map are Irish, so the map suggests that Irish immigrants may take over the United States by the 1900s.
You
may well be right about people's fears that immigrants, lots of them
from Ireland, would overrun the country. Look up when the potato famine
was, though. The map may be from the early 1900s, but, if so, not about
the potato famine in Ireland.
I hope this helps.
